HEARTFELT CREATIONS - MAY 2, 2012

I hope you are having a good week.  It is suppose to warm up here and be in the upper 80s by the end of the week.  Hopefully it will quit raining and I will be able to work in my flower beds later this week.  I have been thinking about the outdoors a lot, so this week I created two scenic cards.  The first card is a picture of a relaxing lake and my second card I started with a blank sheet of paper and used Heartfelt Creations stamps to build a complete country scene.

Make sure you check out all the other great projects the other HC Design Team members created this week on the Heartfelt Creations blog.
